Thank you! I'm trying not to get too excited, but today my BP has been 113-120/50s! My original normal!! We're still on the Labetalol 2x a day 200mg... but I'm crossing all crossables that the end might be insight.

And baby had her first check up today and she's well on her way to getting back up to her birth weight. So strange to already be looking at her. Today was supposed to be her birthday, and of course her due date is still three weeks off. So funny to see them move and think... huh, I totally know what that kick feels like!

Lauren, so sorry about the symptoms not going away! I hope in the next COUPLE of days (at most) everything gets back to normal. I'm so glad both of you are now going home and good luck with everything. Your news is uplifting to me as I will be 36w1d tomorrow.Prayers and hugs,Mistie

She's wireless! I got discharged yesterday, and she is awaiting her discharge papers as we speak. Besides some high flow O2 near her, she didn't require any intervention and really just stayed for observation.

I was hoping all my symptoms would magically go away after delivery like they did with our 2nd but no such luck. Swelling is the worst it's been and got to see some floaters and BP still junk. So ironic because during delivery and right after my BP was so low they were actually concerned and had me skip a dose of meds. So I'll be keeping a close eye on our lil' one and hubby will be keeping a close eye on me and once home will see our OB to check pressures and see if we want to adjust meds.

Congratulations! How scary about the abruption. Thank goodness you were there and waiting to deliver. I had GD with my last pregnancy and my little one had some pretty low blood sugar for a while but perked up pretty soon.
